NY - Jamaica Smith, 39, Queens, 25 November 2009

It's been a week now, Vereen said, since then. Last Wednesday morning, Smith took her 6-year-old daughter to school on a bus, the Laurelton School, PS 156. The child showed up safely, but Smith has not been seen since.

Family members say they've heard talk that there was a man seen in the neighborhood around the school, speaking suggestively to women, including Smith.

"As far as I know there was a guy that was giving girls compliments in the neighborhood," said Vereen. "I guess he made compliments when she was walking by or something, that she was pretty, and stuff like that."

I read the Post article on my train ride home tonight. I haven't seen this on the news yet. She is a pretty woman. The guy in the van sounds very sketchy. I wonder why the police said they didn't think foul play was involved.

I have no idea what the streets of Queens are like -- is it really likely no one saw anything suspicious happening while she was walking to meet her sister?

When I lived in NYC, I lived down near Wall Street in Manhattan.. I moved there from Central, NY to take a job, the first thing my boss told me was to stay out of queens and brooklyn.. I didn't listen, and decided to go to a party at a co-workers house at night. I was scared out of my wits.. but.. I also grew up in a suburb.. so.. I'm sure all parts have their better neighborhoods and bad.. I just wonder about hers..
